Teaching in Community 1999-2000

Barbara Stachniewicz, Professor of English: “I have said (repeatedly to anyone who will listen!) that the Teaching in Community project is the best thing I have done at Northern Essex Community College. It has had a greater impact on me as a teacher and as a person than I had imagined possible.”

Ginger Hurajt, Professor of English: “My involvement in Teaching in Community has led directly to my best year of teaching. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in an experience that has had deep resonance in my teaching life.”

Jeannine Press, Professor of Nursing: “I feel that the Teaching in Community experience has sensitized me to the dilemmas faced by other faculty.”

Susan Murphy, Instructor of Nursing: “It was incredible to be a part of a group of such caring professionals – to talk about the good days and the bad days. It made me recognize and understand Parker Palmer’s words that ‘bad days bring suffering that comes only from something one loves’.”
